I don't typically use the dumb reaction emoji, but if you come to a rival board looking to find posters heaping praise on your talented but exceptionally unlikable star player, you really ARE dumb.

This brought me joy.
Thanks Don, but did you watch any college basketball this season?
She was plastered on our screen for 5 months. I'm not saying she didn't deserve it, but there is no way you could avoid her if you watched any mens or womens games.
Thanks Garlic, yes nearly every night, and probably the same games you were watching. Outside of a few promos and maybe a mention here or there nothing that noticeable or anything that annoyed me. It’s 2024 there are so many different ways to consume, change, or dictate what you are seeing and hearing. Same with politics, religion, celebrity gossip, or whatever grinds the persons gears.
You mean like how Iowa State has averaged a top 5 Womens attendance for nearly two decades?
Had Miller & Condon on during a 10 min drive at lunch and they warned the haters that this won't be the end. They said get ready to see/hear about her even more now that she's part of the "NBA machine". They said she's done playing for our rival so we might as well hop on board...
I disagree that we'll see/hear more about her. Other than the local media who will still maintain boners and try to keep her relevant, I'm confident the amount of coverage will decrease (especially after a year or so). And as that coverage dies down, I think any 'hate' will also.

I wish folks would get rid of the "hater" narrative. Just because I'm not inclined to root for her or worship her does not make me a hater.
I don't recall demanding that everyone root for Brock Purdy in the super bowl this year because "it's good for the state" and "they're haters if they don't."

Every time I see the OP on the Forums page my mind instinctively reads it as "Our long national nightmare is over."
If you're too young that probably won't mean anything to you.

And honestly I thought she was fun to watch despite not caring for her attitude. That doesn’t mean I wanted Iowa to win a championship; I still care more about Iowa State WBB doing well and being healthy - Iowa WBB winning a natty would’ve had a direct impact on that.
That doesn't happen because, for all it's faults, the ISU fan base doesn't have the weird impulse to believe, or impress upon others, that they represent everything that's important in college sports regardless of achievement.
For me: just the ISU men's and women's games.

This is fair, I guess.
I just find it crazy that UI fans would even want Cyclones on their bandwagon to the point of insulting those who don't jump on with enthusiasm.
These two asshats don’t get it….suckeye men weren’t in the tournament,…and ISU had both teams that our fan base supported…
CC is gone, move on you dipshits
Every Hawk fan I know was enthusiastically rooting against Purdy in the Super Bowl…. and I don’t blame them one bit.
That’s why I’m not sure why they are so upset about ISU fans not cheering for CC? I guess their fragile egos?
Who said annoyed? The post being referenced said he found it hard to believe that anyone could not hear about CC.
Yes, there are many ways to dictate what you're seeing or hearing. But as a college basketball fan from the state of Iowa, it was impossible not to see the CC discourse on social media. No amount of strategic clicking was going to stop that from popping up in someone's feed. It was impossible to not see a State Farm commercial or any other of her handful of ads that were in regular rotation. There was usually a reference to her during Iowa State women's games.
He married an Iowan so he’s an Iowa in-law. Same rights as an Iowan now.
